Origin Energy (ASX:ORG) reported a statutory profit of $1.57 billion for the 2026 financial year, alongside an adjusted free cash flow of $2.07 billion.

The statutory profit increased from $1.48 billion recorded in the previous financial year, driven by energy market improvements despite a drop in integrated gas earnings.

"Origin delivered a solid full-year result, with strong cash generation and continued good performance in energy markets helping offset the expected reduction in commodity-linked earnings in Integrated Gas," said Origin Energy CEO Frank Calabria.

The business posted an underlying profit of $1.16 billion and declared a fully franked final dividend of 30 cents per share.

The company stated that its disciplined strategy aims to support customers through the energy transition and expand its renewables portfolio.
